Good 'Ol Hippo

She's been napping for 1h and 40m so far!!!! So here is a post about my good friend Hippo. My sister Joanne gave Hippo to me when they found out we were pregnant with Maddy. As a kid my sisters had given me that nickname and tortured me with it throughout my childhood. Hahaha! Anyway as my sleeps during the pregnancy became more and more uncomfortable, Hippo came to the rescue. First he was between my knees to keep my expanding hips aligned. Then as my belly got bigger, he was put under so that I could sleep on my side better. Poor thing was pretty squished! Then after Maddy was born, you'd think that Hippo would get a break. Nope! Hippo now has to help with nursing. I use him to raise my head to a comfortable height when I nurse Maddy in bed. I have to admit that Hippo is looking a little on the lean side now! Here is a cute picture of Maddy telling Hippo how much she appreciates his hard work.

Thanks Auntie Jo, Uncle Philip, Frances and Pippa for bestowing Hippo upon us!!!
